- Which nutrient is most important?
- Which one will give the best return?
- What role does each play?

|
- Nitrogen is a primary building block for all life
- Without nitrogen, crops cannot produce sufficient amino acids, proteins
and enzymes to support life
- If deficient, it is the most limiting nutrient
|
|
5
|
- Role in crop…
- Protein (in foliage &
grain…)
- Chlorophyll…(green colour)
- increased seed/fruit formation and higher yields.
|
|
6
|
- Best known for pop-up effect…
|
|
7
|
- Role in crop…
- Is the 3rd most limiting nutrient
- The occurrence for phosphorus deficiency is second only to nitrogen
- Stimulate root development
|
|
8
|
- Promotes early maturing
- Phosphorus plays a vital role in energy transfer, photosynthesis and
nutrient transport
- Plays a vital role as a structural component of the plant.
|
|
9
|
- Root development
- helps with drought & moisture tolerance…
|
|
10
|
- Crops with adequate potassium show
- increased stem strength
- improved disease resistance and
- greater drought resistance.
- Potassium regulates water balance
|
|
11
|
- Sulphur is a building block of proteins
|
|
12
|
- Sulphur is one of the most abundant elements in the earth's crust.
- Like nitrogen, sulphur is an essential component in the growth of all
living things.
- It is a building block of enzymes and vitamins
- A key ingredient in the formation of chlorophyll
|
|
13
|
- Helps plant utilize nitrogen more efficiently
- Bonus...get control of your daisies with sulphate application!
